[kepler-dev] Urgent help needed for Kepler 1.x installer

[madhu]

Hi David,

  THanks you for your help.

  I could create kepler-trunk.zip and kepler-trunk.jar with the ant command you suggested.
I am currently using Mac and I put the zip file on desktop and double clicking unarchives it.
With java -jar kepler-trunk.jar I could open the GUI. Is this how it is suppose to work on Mac.

Hi Madhu and Ilkay,

The platform specific installer is not ready yet. But, we do have a 
cross-platform solution that should meet your needs for now. You can 
just use the "ant package" command.

For example, say I wanted to distribute the ppod suite.

I could type in the following command:

ant package -Dsuite=ppod -Dname=my-ppod

This would create a my-ppod.zip in your <kepler.modules> directory. 
Inside of the my-ppod.zip, there will be a my-ppod.jar which you can 
double-click to run Kepler using the ppod-suite. (Just as if a developer 
from the command-line had typed in "ant change-to -Dsuite=ppod" and "ant 
run."

This should probably work for your needs.
